Essays on and Interviews with Five Authors

By: Esther Harriott

Since 1900, the average life expectancy in the developed world has almost doubled, from 45 to 80. "We are almost a new species," declared the English writer V.S. Pritchett, while pointing out that this means "most of us have to face the prospect of a long old age before we die." Pritchett is one of five great writers--along with Stanley Kunitz, Doris Lessing, Mavis Gallant and Russell Baker--whose novels, short stories, poems and essays about old age, written in old age, are examined in this book. Born between 1900 (Pritchett) and 1925 (Baker), these writers are members of the first generation of the 20th century, and of the first generation of writers able to write about old age from experience. In their later works we read about growing old as reported by the old, not as imagined by the young and middle-aged. They wrote about old age not as a discrete stage of life, but as a continuation--another context in which to pursue the themes of their earlier poems, novels, stories and essays. And those who had written about love--a central theme of fiction and poetry--now wrote about love in old age.

Can I Be Me?

By: Esther Armah

Armah is a black British journalist, with a troubled soul and a questioning mind. Addicted to the need for approval, the desire for applause, bright lights and struggle, she's also on a quest: a place of comfort and acceptance of her identity; black, British, Ghanaian and Afrocentric. Can she find a place of refuge in her travels and her profession? Who would you be without your daily addictions? How did you get addicted to your drug of choice? Who would you be if there were no applause, disappointment, injustice, discrimination or rejection?

Poems that were written through the years for relatives and friends. The author has lived a very full life throughout her 94 years so she has the opportunity to write not only for relatives but also for friends. Researching and writing about Thomas Jefferson, she also met interesting individuals. Hopefully, this book will reflect the expansive nature of her life.
